Not new to MFP but wanting to find other busy moms!

Lately Feeling like I lost the time to workout! I started 3 classes this past weekend and now have class Friday, Saturday and Sunday every other weekend. I work full time and need to do homework inbetween classes plus spend time with my family (kids included). I'm gonna have to carve out a half hour everyday!

I'm looking for others who are in my similar situation. I have a goal to run a half marathon in August as well as lose 15 more pounds along the way. I have some health issues like a hypothyroid as well as varing blood sugars so I'm very concious about meals and how my body feels.

Please friend me if you have a similar schedule or same goals!

    I'm right there with you- I have to just make the time for me (meaning that 30-60 minutes a day to workout) which is the hardest part but in order to keep my sanity I am really trying.

    I have been there. I went to college later in my 20s and finished when I was 31. I have three active kids. I gained most of my weight during that time, you are doing the right thing. No matter the stress, working out will make it easier. We are all here for you. What are you studying?

    I'm in my second career schooling! I was a stylist for 5 years before injuring my arms and went back to school for Business: marketing and management. I am in my final classes and will graduate in June! I keep thinking about how nice July will be with out homework and classes! My goal was to be done before my oldest goes to kindergarten which is in the fall and before I'm 30!
